Must restock digikey parts?

I need to order one thing from digikey (or mouser), what are some must haves I should throw in my cart to make shipping worth it?

I usually get some kill switches…

Just about anything electronics related you would order from the landfill marketplace that is Amazon.

They’ve got a lot more than parts. Need some solder wick, solder, tools?

PTFE cables, kill switches, transsitor if you want to use low power switches, actual switches for chassis and/or hilt. I personally buy NPXL pins, Proffie Breakout Board pogo pins, battery contacts if you make your own chassis, solder, flux, and I would throw a few MOSFET and Q7s from the board you use (V2.2 or V3.9) since those are the ones that tend to die first.

Great list, thabks!

I didn’t realize they had ptfe, definitely going in the cart!

The PTFE jacketed. Those have a very thin jackets and are resistant to the heat of the soldering iron.

Yea, it’s all I use. I meant I didn’t know digikey carried ptfe hookup wire.
